At the 2007 CEDIA Show in Denver, Colorado, Tributaries® will debut two new ranges of cables destined to redefine the high-end value/performance connectivity category. The Tributaries® Series 9 and Series 7 families of interconnects will extend its reputation for quality still higher with designs suited to the most demanding audio and home-theater systems and installations.

“There are a lot of very expensive cables out there,” says Joe Perfito, President of Tributaries®. “But few if any can match the new Series 9 and Series 7 for thoroughness of engineering and quality of construction—and we know for certain that none can approach their value. Everything we’ve learned in more than 15 years of cable and connector design is reflected in these products, and we’re proud of them. We fully expect these new Tributaries to take their place at the top of the cable and interconnect world.”

Both new Tributaries® ranges are offered in families dedicated to video, analog-audio, digital-audio, and digital-video formats, each one specifically engineered to bring state-of-the-art performance to its appointed task. The Series 9 take pride of place as the company’s new flagship cables: Simply put, the finest cables Tributaries® has yet created. The Series 7 cables come astonishingly close to equaling Series 9 performance, at substantial savings thanks to judicious use of less costly materials in selected, less-critical positions. Where the ultimate in performance is demanded and cost is no object, the Series 9 is the clear choice—but for many, the quality and value of the remarkable new Series 7 cables will be difficult to pass up.

Every Series 9 and Series 7 cable, excepting the HDMI and optical-digital models, is hand-soldered and hand-assembled at the Tributaries® Florida facility. All feature gold-plated, solid brass connectors with fully gold-plated contacts and connectors, solid-metal covers, and waterproof woven jacketing.

The Tributaries Series 7 share most of the Series 9’s important design elements and their benefits, but implement selected cost-saving changes in materials to reach lower price points while preserving much of the Series 9’s unsurpassed performance. Where the ultimate in performance is demanded and cost is no object, the Series 9 is the clear choice. But for many, the quality and value of this remarkable new Series 7 cables will be tough to pass up.

Like the Series 9, every Series 7 analog audio and video model features hand-soldered construction by the Tributaries team at the firm’s Florida, USA plant, with solid-brass connectors throughout.

All of the Tributaries® Series 9 and Series 7 cables are available in a wide range of formats, lengths, and connectors, including balanced-audio models; Series 9 includes a new optical-digital cable using multi-stranded core technology terminated with a hand polished convex-lens. Like all Tributaries products, the Series 7 and 9 cables comply fully with the RoHS environmental standards; what’s more, like all Tributaries products, each Series 7/9 cable is optionally available without retail plastic blister packaging, a further environmentally conscious measure.

Tributaries® Series 7 and 9 cables are now available with the following suggested retail pricing.
